The One World: Together At Home concert will air on Saturday, April 18, on several online platforms in support of health care workers fighting the Covid-19 pandemic globally and the World Health Organisation’s Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
The concert will later air as a two-hour special on E! (DStv channel 124) at 6pm on Sunday.
Proceeds from the concert will go to equipping health care workers with protective equipment, and charities providing food, shelter and other resources to those in need.
The concert will also feature interviews with experts and health care workers battling the disease, to encourage governments, philanthropists and ordinary people to unite in response to the pandemic.
“As we honour and support the heroic efforts of community health workers, One World: Together At Home aims to serve as a source of unity and encouragement in the global fight to end Covid-19.
“Through music, entertainment and impact, the global live-cast will celebrate those who risk their own health to safeguard everyone else's,” Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evan said in a statement.
